I placed this query to check Golden State's stats and wasn't expecting to see Delly lumped in with the Dubs' best at +16.9 (4th best +/- in the Association).
I know +/- isn't everything but it's still a reasonable reflection of a team's performance while a player is out on the floor.
Incidentally, with almost identical minutes played Mo is down in 31st.

You can see Blatt's appreciation of Delly in how often Delly is out there at the end of a game. It's not always being about a great finisher or clutch shooter but a guy who knows where to be, gets the spacing right, etc.
Also knows when to give it to the go to guys. A few dudes on that team should see his example and learn from it...I taking to u J.R Smith & Mo Williams!! Hence u ain't played clutch minutes!

It might be one of the few things Blatt is actually in charge of!
I think Larry Bird is credited with the following quote when interviewed after another big scoring night or along these lines
"It's not the guy who scores but it is the guy who gets it to the scorer which is important"
